Default MTFCI National Tour- Rapid City

Does anybody know the itinerary for the tours at the MTFCI National Tour this July 18-22 in Rapid City - Black Hills? We will be out there visiting grandkids and would like to bring them to see some of the activities. I have visited the MTFCI website but there are no details, just rough suggestions of things to do. The entry fee for the whole tour is too high for all of us, especially considering that our Model T is not reliable enough to trust on a long tour. Or maybe I should say it is reliable enough but I don't have enough confidence in it to be trusting. It has been trailered home too many times.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Tman, that helps a lot. Now we can take the grandkids to some of the places where they can see all the other cars.

I'm one of several T'ers coming to Rapid City from FL. Look for me in Dixie, the '27 touring painted rebel gray with red wheels.

The Judging Field is at the Journey Museum Parking lot, the field opens at Wednesday, July 21, 8am-10am, T's will be all there, even if not judged, everyone parks there so you can see the whole bunch, which during the tour days is difficult as all the cars run around independently to avoid traffic jams. Judging begins at 10am and is over at noon, all the cars will be gone shortly after noon.

We were in Rapid City quite by accident last week and saw the Model T's!

I'm a Model A, V-8 guy (have both) but love the T's too.

I was in awe of all those little T's runnin' around

Jeff & T-man:

My family & I were also there along with Model A engine man James Rogers and his wife. He is the one driving the pick-up. My daughter was driving her orange speedster, and I was mostly riding in my 15 year old son's '16 Touring. It seemed like I only got to drive it through tech inspection and then he commandeared it from me.

I wish I had met both of you there.
